About Me

Hello! I have moved from Brooklyn, NY to Washington, DC. It's a pretty awesome place! Slower-paced, but, lots of bicycle enthusiasts, lots to see, water, and fun!

I am posting here to see if anyone is looking for a free place to stay in Washington, D.C. over the holidays! It would be your own bedroom in SE Washington, D.C. with a shared bathroom. Note: there are two friendly cats who live in the house as well. Great neighborhood, close to transportation, washer and dryer. (No dishwasher though). It's a three-floor historic row house, typical of Washington, D.C. and there is plenty to do here. If you're traveling for the holidays, send me a message. Please be "verified" or have references.

CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out how to best tighten my bicycle chain. Thinking about long-term career goals: who do I want to be professionally?

ABOUT ME

I'm laid back and a total extrovert, easy going about plans. Unfortunately, I am very busy because of my job, so I can offer a nice place to stay (and your own loft space to chill), but odds are that I won't have much time to hang out with you. There is outdoor space, too!

PHILOSOPHY

Get to know yourself and what makes you tick. That will lead you to happiness. Easy maxim, harder on the execution....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some here and there. I've always had fun!

Interests

Bicycles, bicycles, bicycles. Prohibition Era San Francisco. Music, cooking, intimate friend gatherings. Women's identity and professional clothing in the work place. Vintage fashion. Good reads, good wine. Most of all, Sunny 102.3 of the California Central Valley.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too long to put here. Save it for a discussion over some lovely wine when you get here!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How does a person really answer this without sounding corny?

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a bit about whole foods nutrition and herbal remedies. I can tell you a thing or two about legal topics in the U.S. I can teach you how to change a flat on your bike, and I always carry those tools with me -- and for my bike that includes a heavy 13mm wrench to disengage the back wheel (and they say women's purses are full of junk!).

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Italy, Jamaica, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey

Countries I’ve Lived In
